Here's what we offer for 5 Billion for the wall...which will never really be built

Enshrine DACA in law, not a presidential order. With the legally enshrined pathway to gain full Citizenship.

Because, remember, 1.5 years ago, this was our main goal and we owe it to the kids. But they will reject that offer.

Because his base hates DACA. They want those brown kids deported.

On the off chance they accept, we get what we wanted all along, and the house can easily kill funding any year in future.

But they will not take the deal. So it totally strips away the whole boarder security excuse and leaves nothing but racism.

A huge majority of Americans support the DACA kids. If we position the republicans into rejecting an offer to get the wall and solving the DACA kids problem, we win.

We should not let the wall drive our thinking the same way it does his base. We should use their obsession to our advantage.

The wall will never be built being the best one.

Ain’t gonna happen.

But it is time to stand up to Trump and his base. No money for the wall. He loses.

Let the government stay shut down. He owns it. He loses, the GOP loses big time

He declares a national emergency so what, still no
Wall, he loses more, the GOP loses more

If we cave on wall funding, the next time he demands something he will shut down the gov again.

It’s time to stand up to the bully and his gang
